Sales to minors

MOUNT CARMEL - Shaulinski's, 201-203 S. Market St., Mount Carmel, was cited Aug. 8 by the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement for selling liquor and/or malt or brewed beverages to a minor on July 5.

The charge will be brought before an administrative law judge who has the authority to impose penalties ranging from $50 to $1,000 for minor offenses and up to $5,000 for more serious offenses. In addition, the judge can impose a license suspension or revocation of the licensee based on the severity of the charge and can mandate training for the licensee.

CHESTERFIELD - From mid-August through Labor Day, local police will be out in force as part of the annual nationwide "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" crackdown on drunken driving. The crackdown, which will include high-visibility enforcement throughout Chesterfield, will run from Aug. 16 through Sept. 2, 2013.

The nationwide drunken driving crackdown will include high-visibility enforcement, high-profile events and will be supported by national paid advertising, creating a comprehensive campaign to curb drunken driving in August and through the Labor Day holiday weekend.

The Chesterfield County Police Department said its officers will be aggressively looking for drunken drivers during the crackdown and will arrest anyone caught driving drunk.

Although it is illegal in all 50 States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to drive drunk (having a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher), far too many people across the nation get behind the wheel after consuming too much alcohol. The latest statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration underscore the serious nature of the nation's continuing drunken driving epidemic.

"Every year, about one third of all motor vehicle traffic deaths involve one or more drunken drivers or motorcycle operators," said Chesterfield Police Traffic Sgt. Rod Brown. "In 2011, 9,878 people died in crashes involving drunken drivers. That works out to approximately one drunken driving fatality every 53 minutes."

Sgt. Brown added that holidays such as the Labor Day holiday are particularly dangerous.

During the Labor Day weekend in 2011, a total of 138 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes involving drivers or motorcycle riders with BACs of .08 g/dL or higher. Of those fatalities, 83 percent occurred during early evening and overnight, from 6 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.

Drunken driving takes a particularly heavy toll among young drivers. Among 18- to 34-year-old drivers killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes during the 2011 Labor Day weekend, 42 percent were alcohol-impaired.

"Research has shown that high-visibility enforcement like the 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over' campaign reduces drunken driving fatalities by as much as 20 percent. By joining this nationwide effort, we will make Chesterfield's roadways safer for everyone throughout the Labor Day period," said Sgt. Brown.

"We want to remind everyone that getting behind the wheel drunk is a terrible idea. Unfortunately, not only does drinking impair your ability to operate a vehicle safely, it also impairs your judgment and good sense about whether you can, or should drive. If you have any doubt about your sobriety, do not get behind the wheel. If you do chose to drive impaired, you will be arrested. No warnings. No excuses," Sgt. Brown said.

Sgt. Brown noted that being arrested for driving drunk brings a wide range of negative consequences into one's life. Drunken drivers face jail time, loss of their driver licenses, and steep financial consequences, such as higher insurance rates, attorney fees, court costs, lost time at work and the potential loss of job. When family, friends and co-workers find out, violators also often face tremendous personal embarrassment.

"Driving drunk is simply not worth the risk. So don't take the chance. Remember, we will be out in force and we will be watching, so 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,'" Sgt. Brown said.
